Since the NFC West seems out of reach with five games to go, the best chance for the Los Angeles Rams to secure a spot in the playoffs will be through one of the Wild Card spots in the NFC.
As much as the Rams would love to win the division for a third year in a row, the fact that Los Angeles currently trails the 49ers by four games heading into Week 13 shows how unlikely this is to happen.
So with the Rams focused on the Wild Card, the next step becomes doing whatever it takes to squeeze into the No.
